Czech Republic goaltender Petr Mrazek made the most of his opportunity to play at the 2012 World Junior Championship. It has been several years since the Czech squad iced a player that created a buzz at this tournament, but Mrazek did just that with his exuberant celebrations and, more importantly, his play in net for the Czechs. And while a fifth place finish is probably not what Mrazek and his teammates had hoped for, it could be something for that country’s national program to build on going forward.

Mrazek talked about the 2012 WJC following his team’s 5-2 win over Slovakia.
